For Immediate Release

Press Release

The signing of Delaware Senate Bill 29


June 21, 2007 - Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) congratulates Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner and the Delaware legislature for unanimously passing Senate Bill 29 which has been termed “the strongest bill for child sexual abuse victims in the country." We are especially grateful for the leadership of Senator Karen Peterson (D) and Representative Deborah Hudson (R) in steering this bill through the legislature. VOTF finds this bill especially notable since it holds not only the perpetrators liable but also those institutions that allowed abuse to take place through gross negligence.

John Sullivan, affiliate leader of the Coastal Delmarva affiliate of VOTF said: “Delaware has taken the lead for the country. We hope other states will follow and eliminate the statutes of limitation in child abuse cases. I would also like to thank the many members of our coalition, especially Dr. Tom Conaty, who have worked with the legislature for so many years. Our long campaign to bring justice to survivors of sexual abuse has finally paid off.”
